Poems of Passion is a collection of lyrical poems exploring the intense emotions of love, desire, sorrow, and spiritual longing. Written in a direct, heartfelt style, the poems celebrate romantic passion while also reflecting on loss, loneliness, and the moral complexities of human relationships. The collection's most famous poem, Solitude, captures its central theme: the isolation often felt in grief and the fleeting nature of joy. Wilcox blends emotional sincerity with moral introspection, making this volume both deeply personal and broadly relatable.
About the author
Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919) was born and raised in Wisconsin where she gained a reputation as an excellent writer of poetry. At one point she was a student of Emma Curtis Hopkins, with whom she shared a strong belief in total abstinence of alcohol. She was also an associate editor of New Thought Magazine and had a number of her essays published in The Heart of New Thought.
When about 28 years of age, she married Robert Wilcox. They had one child, a son, who died shortly after birth. Not long after their marriage, they both became interested in Theosophy, New Thought, and Spiritualism. They moved to Connecticut where she lived until her death in 1919.
The following statement expresses Wilcox's unique blending of New Thought, Spiritualism, and a Theosophical belief in reincarnation:
As we think, act, and live here today, we build the structures of our homes in spirit realms after we leave earth, and we build karma for future lives, thousands of years to come, on this earth or other planets. Life will assume new dignity, and labor new interest for us, when we come to the knowledge that death is but a continuation of life and labor, in higher planes.
